Low
This height range is recommended for users who need to reach from e.g. base cabinets and up to tables/kitchen tables and still be able to easily 'walk' the chair around while sitting down.
Standard
Suitable for users who need extra height, so they can reach from e.g. kitchen table and up to low wall cabinets. The sitting height can be difficult to 'walk' around if the user is low or has reduced strength in the legs. For a safe sitting position, a footrest should also be selected.
High
Perfect for users who need to be able to reach up to high, they can reach e.g. kitchen table and up to the top shelves in the refrigerator or wall cabinets. Only tall users can 'walk' this chair around. For a safe sitting position, a footrest should also be selected.

A belt can be used for several purposes but is typically used if the person tends to slide forward in the seat or otherwise has difficulty sitting by themself.

A reliable brake is an essential feature on the VELA chair, the brake creates the necessary stability and safety that makes activity, learning and independence possible.
The central brake provides a stable and safe seat for the day’s many different chores. The central brake also makes it safe to get up and sit down in the chair.
The brake must be easily accessible to the person who is going to use it. Therefore it is important to know who will use the chair’s brake.
It may be that the chair user is the only one that needs to use the brake, that only a helper must use the brake, or that everybody must have the possibility to brake the chair’s wheels.
If the floor is uneven or the person has involuntary movements, the chair may need brakes on all four wheels to have a completely safe chair.
This chair is, as standard, equipped with a combined foot brake/brake lever on the right side.
Name | Brakerod | Adjustable Brakerod | Adjustable Brakerod with T-Brake Lever | Electric Brake |
Description | This is the chairs standard brake. We recommend it if the person has no additional needs, and the chair is at standard height. | The extension handle extends the brake lever, making it easier to reach, compared to a standard brake. We recommend an extension handle if the person is mainly up high. An extension handle also makes it easier to brake the chair, as it requires less force than a standard brake handle. | The T-handle extends the brake level, and at the same time, makes it wider and easier to reach. We recommend this handle for people who have reduced mobility in the shoulders, arms or upper back. The T-handle makes it easier to brake the chair, as it requires less force than a standard brake handle. | We recommend an electric brake for people who cannot operate a standard brake lever but want to use the brake independently. The electric brake can ensure that the person is as self-sufficient as possible despite a physical disability - and is an advantage for both caregivers and the person. |

A footrest is often essential for the user to have an optimal sitting position. The feet must be supported when the user is sitting in the chair, so if the user cannot reach the floor while sitting, a footrest must be used.
The right footrest provides stability and security in the sitting position and reduces strain on the legs and body muscles while the user can maintain a good sitting position.
